Printing from a USB flash memory device
A USB Direct interface is located on the operator panel so you can insert a USB flash memory device and print PDF
documents. Printing a document from a USB flash memory device is similar to printing a held job.
For information regarding tested and approved USB flash memory devices, see our Lexmark Web site at http://
support.lexmark.com and click on KnowledgeBase to search for Direct USB printing.
Note the following when using a USB flash memory device with the printer USB Direct Interface:
• USB devices must be compatible with the USB 2.0 standard.
• Hi-Speed USB devices must support the Full-Speed standard as well. Devices only supporting USB low speed
capabilities are not supported.
• USB devices must use the FAT file system. Devices formatted with NTFS or any other file system are not
supported.
• You cannot print encrypted files or files without printing permissions.
To print from a USB flash memory device:
1 Make sure the printer is on and Ready or Busy appears.
2 Insert a USB flash memory device into the USB Direct interface.
Note:
• If you insert the memory device when the printer requires attention such as when a paper jam
has occurred, the printer ignores the memory device.
• If you insert the memory device when the printer is busy printing other jobs, the message
Printer Busy appears. Select Continue, and your job prints after the other jobs finish.
